Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If I were to do it over again, I would not have bought this package.Most upsetting is that the 16GB SDHC card is class 2.This is a worthless inclusion in a package for the T2i that requires at least a class 6 card to function properly.Class 4, maybe, but class 2 is worthless in this package.The make of the card I received was Kodak.
I have reviewed the camera with kit lens and the 55-250 lens elsewhere and given both 5 stars
The tripod is ok for beginners, but not for most purchasing a T2i; it is Bowers Standard tripod, a $15 item from Amazon.Undoubtedly most purchasing this camera already have a tripod of at least equal quality.
The camera case looks pretty good, 13 3/4"x 8 1/4" x 8 5/8".Seems to be reasonably well padded and has dividers that can be positioned as you desire. The brand is Zeikos.See below for more on bag.)
The rechargeable battery replacement for DB-LPE8 battery is CTA brand.Time will tell how good it is.
The Zeikos card reader is for SD/SDHC/MMC cards and is yet to be tested.Likewise the Zeikos cleaning kit and lens protectors.
Hopefully I broke even buying this package.But just the fact that a class 2card was included in a package with a camera that needs class 6 says a lot about the supplier of the package and the quality of the package they assembled for the purchaser of an expensive SLR camera, not a $50 point and shoot.
The inclusion of the worthless SD card motivates me to give the package 1 star, but I'll give it a 3 pending more experience with the battery and the case.However, you can be sure I will be back with an update if my experience with them is less than satisfactory.
Addition:The above dimensions for the bag are exterior. According to the Zeikos website, the interior dimensions for their ZE260F are 9"x6"x6 1/2".I couldn't find this bag advertised to get a price, but based on their other bags, I estimate this probably sells for about $20.Besides the interior, it has several pockets for cards and other accessories.The pockets are pretty good size and I don't think they are included in the dimensions, certainly not the interior dimension. The battery seems to be a Chinese product.This is an LP-E8.Amazon sells an LP-E5, listing it as a $44.40 battery that it sells for $15.56.
2nd Addition:The camera bag has proven to be a keeper.In the main compartment I have in one division the Canon T2i, with battery pack and the 18-55 lens with lens hood attached.The 55-250 lens with hood attached is in another divison.A division remains for another lens, but since I only have the two I am currently using it to hold my glasses or a mini-tripod.In the pockets I have SD cards, filters, etc.I am well satisfied with the bag; it is the right size for me at this time.
The battery that came with the kit took a full charge and is presently in use in the battery pack.Time will tell how long it lasts in comparison with the Canon battery that came with the camera.
All in all, for me I think I got about $1200 in value compared with purchasing the camera, zoom lens, camera bag and generic battery separately from Amazon so I do not feel that I made a bad bargain.But I bought the package in the expectation that I would come out ahead. This didn't happen primarily because the 16GB class 2 SD card is worthless for this camera.
Because Amazon has good prices on all the components of this package, my firm recommendation is to not buy this package but decide exactly what you need and buy them separately.And if in your search you look at one of the other packages being offered, unless the class of the SD card included is stated, don't assume, as I did, that it is proper for the camera it is being sold with, but that more than likely it is class 2.

Product Description:
The new flagship of the EOS Rebel line, Canon EOS Rebel T2i brings professional EOS features into an easy to use, lightweight digital SLR that's a joy to use. Featuring a class-leading 18.0 Megapixel CMOS Image Sensor and increased light sensitivity for low light photography, the EOS Rebel T2i also has an advanced HD Movie mode for gorgeous Full HD movies. Able to capture up to 3.7 frames per second, it's ready to go the minute it's picked up. Advanced Live View, a new wide-area screen, plus features like Canon's brilliant Auto Lighting Optimizer and Highlight Tone features ensure brilliant photos and movies, easily.
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS SLR Lens: Canon's latest optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology provides up to 4-stop compensation for image blur caused by camera shake and slow shutter speeds. Photographers normally shooting handheld at 1/250 sec can switch on IS to obtain a similarly steady and blur-free result with a shutter speed of just 1/15 second. The inclusion of automatic panning detection makes it easier for photographers to track wildlife and other moving subjects.
Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens: It is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology and is compact and light. This high zoom ratio lens is equivalent to a focal length of 88-400mm in the 35mm format. The image stabilizer effect is equivalent to a shutter speed about 4 stops faster than the same size lens without Image Stabilizer. In other words, if the slowest shutter speed you could formerly hold a 250mm lens steadily was 1/250th of a second, with Canon's 4-stop stabilization correction, you could hand-hold at shutter speeds as slow as 1/15th of a second. It also uses a UD-glass lens element to correct chromatic aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range.
